Bristol Myers Squibb (BMY) stock jumps on UBS upgrade as investors look to January catalysts

New York, January 7, 2026, 20:54 (EST) — Market closed Bristol Myers Squibb shares rose 4.2% to $56.72 on Wednesday after UBS upgraded the drugmaker to buy and lifted its price target to $65 from $46.

Bristol Myers has been a litmus test for that trade: steady cash flows, but an earnings gap investors do not want to underwrite blindly.

NEW YORK, Jan 7, 2026, 19:39 ET — After-hours SoFi Technologies (SOFI.O) shares were up about 0.1% at $27 in after-hours trading on Wednesday, after ranging from $26.42 to $27.18 in the session. The stock has been whipsawed this week by a familiar mix for fast-growing consumer finance names: capital raises, valuation arguments, and what happens to loan growth when the market stops giving you the benefit of the doubt.

First Solar stock slides 10% on Jefferies downgrade as 2026 orders come into focus

New York, January 7, 2026, 18:48 (EST) — After-hours Shares of First Solar (FSLR) fell 10.3% to $241.11 on Wednesday after Jefferies downgraded the U.S. solar panel maker to “hold” from “buy” and cut its price target to $260 from $269. The brokerage cited “limited booking visibility” for 2026 and said a hoped-for “S232” tailwind — shorthand for potential Section 232 duties that can be imposed after a Commerce Department national-security investigation — could “underwhelm investor expectations,” flagging possible carve-outs for Germany and developers moving ahead of any levies.

NEW YORK, January 7, 2026, 18:18 (EST) — After-hours CrowdStrike Holdings shares rose 4.5% to close at $478.91 on Wednesday and were little changed in after-hours trading, where electronic deals happen outside regular U.S. market hours.
